Hi everyone. As you can tell from my screen name, I live in Wisconsin! I took the FAR exam (my first section) on 7/10 and then took AUD on 8/14. I plan to take REG next in October and BEC in November. I have read that Wisconsin is slow to release scores, but I’m confused about that. Does Wisconsin wait until all of the scores are in for Wave 1 and then release all of the Wave 1 scores together, or does it wait until all of the scores are in for Waves 1 AND 2 and then release them all together?

I have to say that in this whole exam process, the release of scores has not been communicated clearly, and I was surprised that no information was provided upon exam completion as to approximately when/how scores are released from Wisconsin. I don’t even know if I will receive anything in the mail or not. I know I can log into NASBA and check for my scores, but when? It seems ridiculous that we put so much effort and time into studying (not to mention cash!), and we are left to wonder and wait about scores. I’m trying to decide whether to go ahead and schedule the next exams when I have not yet learned about passing these, because if I didn’t pass, I want to retake those as soon as possible. It’s hard to plan ahead without knowing. And, we’re all in this 18-month pressure cooker to pass all sections.

I know I’m preaching to the choir, but with the available computerized technology, I would sure like to see an improved grading and score release system.

Okay, so I called NASBA and got my jurisdiction ID#,. and it still won't let me re-register online (says my profile cannot be located). I called NASBA, and they took my registration over the phone instead. Whew . . .

I can even understand waiting for all tests to be out there before posting the scores, but I'm not sure what the week or more delay is after the final test has been released.

BEC - 80
REG - 74
FAR - 72
AUD - Waiting

I seriously think I'm going to give myself a ulcer worrying about this last score.

Jan – the first time I took FAR I got pushed into Wave 2 after taking the test on October 16th, so I feel your pain.

REG - 87; BEC - 80; AUD - 69, 79; FAR - 70, 80

Per NASBA –

The first wave of score release has been

completed, no additional scores will be released until the second wave of score

release begins in the third week of September. If your score has been released its available online at http://www.NASBA.org

So, another week for Wisconsin? Or do you think WI will be generous and release tonight?

Paper Exam May 2002; AUD 62, LPR, 63, FAR 49, ARE 70
Paper Exam Nov 2003; AUD 72, LPR, 72, FAR 67, ARE 71
CBT 2010; AUD 83 FAR 76 BEC 78 REG 73,(2/28/11 NTS # 446) 75 and DONE!

Ugh Jan that is terrible! I always take my tests at the end of a testing window to shorten the wait to about a month. I can't even imagine people who take it in the beginning of wave 1 and are pushed to wave 2. This process is such a nightmare. Hopefully they'll have wave 1 scores out by the end of the week for you guys.

FAR - 86, REG - 93, AUD - 87, BEC - 86

I just received a response from the email I sent last week…

If your score was received during the first waive, it will be released this week sometime or after the Holiday. Otherwise the next scheduled release will be the first week of October.

Last testing window Wisconsin released the scores 2 full days after NASBA officially closed the window. So Friday night if the trend holds true?

REG - 87; BEC - 80; AUD - 69, 79; FAR - 70, 80

[varhej68]

Do they always do it at night?

“If your score was received during the first waive, it will be released this week sometime or after the Holiday. Otherwise the next scheduled release will be the first week of October.”

So, basically the scores will be released either now or later. :o)

Are we in the twilight zone?

Will they possibly release Friday night even though the weekend is a holiday?

Does anyone consistently check for their score and whether or not the ohio state message changed lol

Jan, my past 2 scores have been released on a Friday and I would think it wouldn't matter that Monday is a holiday.

varhej68, I do that too. I swear if anyone sees me doing it they probably think I'm crazy.

FAR - 86, REG - 93, AUD - 87, BEC - 86
